Help VPI SDS Issue


I took the plunge and got the SDS. Wow what a difference but I am having an issue. (I am using the 600 rpm motor) In order to get the motor to spin the platter I have to push it to start it moving. The motor is on but it sound like to is hesistating. I unplugged the SDS and no issue it starts right away. Is this an issue with the 600 vs 300 motor?

I had this exact problem after I upgraded my TNT to a superplatter, ring clamp and SDS. In my system, it was caused by the SDS - the SDS does not provide enough start-up torque with the older SAMAs. In my case, I had a 14 year old SAMA. I changed the SDS voltage and VPI even sent a capacitor, but nothing helped. The solution was to purchase and install the VPI 300rpm motor upgrade kit.

It was very easy to do and competely took care of the issue. I run the SDS at the factory set voltage and my TNT is quiet and starts up each and every time.
